Hi Jeremy,

I'll have a look at it.  Can you send me your kernel config just in
case?

Sure, i will send it to you off list to avoid spamming everyone with a
43k gziped file.


I'm able to recreate the problem with my current config.  If I revert
patch 39e6c8208d7b ("net: solve a NAPI race"), then the problem goes
away.

Eric, any thoughts on this?  I'm guessing the driver should check that
napi_complete_done returns true before enabling IRQs...

Thanks,
Tom

Yes, it seems this driver has a conditional disable_irq_nosync()
following the napi_schedule_prep()

So it probably needs the same for the enable_irq() side.

I verified that the issue goes away when the return value for
napi_complete_done() is checked.  I'll prepare a patch for
both calls in the driver.


This would be broken with busy polling anyway, before my patch.

Yes, I see that busy polling went into 4.10 so I'll submit it back
to 4.10 stable as well.

Thanks,
Tom
